Fergus and I went for our walk after lunch. We went round to the harbour, had a potter about the old quay, then carried on along Hall Street and the shore side of the park and Kilkerran road to Glenramskill House. We turned there and came back the same way then along the street side of the park and came home through town passing the town hall and the bookshop (open).
